[emeenem]

Pia, sis in law ng friend ko yang si Gila Dela Cruz. Palacio na ang surname nya ngayon.

Jen, sa Mindanao parking din kami madalas magpark. Parang mas okay dun. Ako naman hindi mabusina. Mas madalas ko gamitin yung pag ilaw ilaw (yung sa left side ng manibela).

[redrose]

Pia - Hello! Update mo lang kami sis anong date at ng mamarkahan na sa calendaryo! LOL! 

Marcia - thanks ulit sa tip! Dun ako papasok, sana di ako malito pag nandun na. Lunch-out kase kame ng cousin ko with baby kaya effort talaga pagpunta ko dun  Ah sis, beam light! LOL! Matindi ka din, astig din yan! Magaling din ako diyan. Lalo na sa mga taxi na saksak ng saksak 

[clueless]

Ako mabusina. At mailaw. Lalo pag gabi. Nagpalit ako ng headlights. Hindi HID, higher wattage lang. 90/100 (low beam/high beam). Ang stock headlight usually 60/80 lang. Pag inis ako, brightan ko ng ilaw then i keep a safe distance at medyo nalabas ako sa left lara silaw siya sa rearview at left side mirrors. Hee. Minsan naman harangan ko tapos babagalan ko. Hee.

Pia, thanks.

[kiz_me1109]

^^ah.. hi Van. Thanks for the warm welcome. How old na baby mo?

[twelvth_goddess]

^Anne, my daughter is turning 8 months this Sunday First baby ko din yan just like you and I owe GT a lot of infos on caring for her.

Mommies, I have a question pala. Si Zoe kase is at a stage na she's nangingilala. Now, yung family ni hubby hinde nya madalas nakikita and on the last 3 occasions na nakita nya sila, hinde talaga sya makarga or mahawakan without her bursting to tears na akala mo inapi sya or something. Like yesterday, sobrang gustong-gusto sya kargahin and i-kiss kaso hahawakan pa lang her hand, binabawi na nya.

Kanina naman, my eldest brother visited the house. Huling kita sa kanya ng kuya ko, nung binyag pa nya when she was about 2 months old. Kanina naman, she looked at my kuya lang for a long time (as in head to foot na titig) tapos non, nag-warm up na sa kanya, sumama na and nag-kiss pa.

Syempre ayoko naman isipin na choosy si Zoe kase syempre she's too young pa. Pero ano kayang factors ang nagco-contribute at iba-iba ang reaction nya?

[emeenem]

Welcome Anne!

Van, nasa stage si Zoe ngayon na madalas ang stranger anxiety niya. Kung sino lang madalas niyang nakikita, dun lang siya comfortable. Antagal kong namroblema kay Dana diyan. Kaya nung 1st birthday party niya, hindi siya nag enjoy. Puro iyak lang at nakadikit ng nakadikit sa akin. Nung nag 2 years old lang ata siya, tsaka lang niya na overcome yan. Kami lang kasi sa bahay. Walang ibang kamag anak. We only get to see our in laws on Sundays (hindi pa palagi).

It would really help if madalas nila makasama si Zoe. Makakatulong din if magpakita ka palagi ng pictures ng mga kamag anak mo and pakilala mo kay Zoe araw araw.

eto nakita ko sa babycenter.com:
"Your baby is going through one of her first emotional milestones — stranger anxiety. Children this age become very clingy and anxious around new and even familiar people and may cry if suddenly approached by a stranger. Your child may also be more anxious around new people when she's tired, hungry, or sick. Keep this in mind when you're around people she doesn't know, and try not to be upset or embarrassed when she cries in someone else's arms. To calm her down, take her back and hold her yourself. If you explain that your child is going through a normal phase, your friends will understand. Tell them that when they approach the baby, slow gentle movements will produce less anxiety than sudden ones. If your child refuses to be held by a friend or relative, try a slow desensitization process. First, work on having her be comfortable in your arms while the other person is around. Then, have the person talk and play with your child while you hold her. Then, hand him over to the other person for a short time and stay close. Finally, try to leave the room for a few minutes, and see how it goes. If your child bawls, try again. Go in and out of the room and eventually, your child will be secure in the knowledge that even though you're not around at the moment, you'll always return shortly."

Welcome Anne! Free ka on May 27?

Van, si kyle din dumating sa nangingilala stage and wala akong nagawa at that time.. for about 8 months ganon sya.. kaya we decided to send him to playclub when he reached 18months.. and talagang nakatulong iyon.. namimili din sya at that time kung kanino sasama.. sa ate ni bong sasama sya pero sa iba hindi.. depende sa kakarga.. ewan ko ano basis nya para sumama sa iba..

Jen, promise darating ka sa party ah! haha.. ang tagal pa.. zzz

[clueless]

Welcome, Anne. Please refer to the very first post on this thread for a list of all of our names. 

Van, si B din ganyan. nung pagbalik ng mom ko from the farm, umiiyak pag kinakarga niya. nanibago. 3 weeks nawala mom ko. nung sunday naman yung sister ko na ninang ni b, nakikita lang namin siya pag weekends and hindi din every weekend, ayaw ni b sa kanya. as in nung unang kita nila at kukunin siya ng sister ko, umiyak siya.

sabi ni marose developmental milestone daw ang nangingilala.

sabi ko lang sa mom ko nung naninibago si b sa kanya, isa lang ibig sabihin non. wag na sya aalis ng matagal. sa sister ko, ang sabi ko naman, isa lang din ibig sabihin non. bisitahin niya naman kami minsan.

not sure lang if gusto mo nga makita ang in-laws mo kung sasabihin mo silang magkita kayo ng madalas para masanay si zoe sa kanila.

hay. naalala ko lang. kasi nalulungkot nanaman ako. kasi my parents' house was sold na diba. they need to move out by the end of the month. my eldest sister is moving na to her own studio condo. my other sister naman with the twins is moving to a townhouse in fairview!!! ang layo. renovation of their house in filinvest qc is still on-going and i think mid-june lilipat na sila don. a bit closer but still, filinvest qc! tapos dadaan pa sa kille rhighway commonwealth.

sad ako na baka hindi na ganon kadali na magkita kami ng sisters ko. now kasi syempre kung gusto ko sila makita pupunta lang ako sa house ng parents namin. eh paano na niyan? 

[emeenem]

Hi Lisa! Based on your kwentos, I can tell na you really are close with your sisters. Malayo nga ang QC if taga south ka. Kami nga dinedread ko ang pagpunta sa Alabang (lalo na with the toll) pag pumupunta sa in laws ko. Pero tyagaan lang talaga. Iniisip ko na lang na at least mas lalawak ang exposure ko sa iba't ibang lugar (I get to see different scenery - if you can call that scenery, the malls around the area, the restos... etc.). I'm doing it also for Dana kasi para makilala niya ang kabila.

Ako din sad kasi approved na ang US immigrant visa ng parents ko and ng brother ko. Ako na lang matitira dito sa Pilipinas. Flight nila sa end of the month na. May isa pa akong sister (ate ko) pero mga 4 years na silang nakatira sa SG and I think they will stay na there for good. Or they will follow my parents in the US.

[twelvth_goddess]

Thanks Marcia, Lisa, and Pia

I'm ok naman sana na madalas makita ni Zoe ang in laws kase good terms naman ako with all of them kahit na minsan may mga sablay moments ang iba Good idea yung pictures, siguro I'll show Zoe pictures of them everyday. Si hubby kase na-feel ko na mejo he felt bad na sa bihirang times na kasama namin his family, hinde pa nila malaro or ma-cuddle si Zoe. Although syempre alam naman nya na normal lang na nagingilala si Zoe. Yon nga like Pia, may times na ok naman sya with strangers. Siguro yesterday she was tired na kase and mejo mainit pa sa house ng [textspeak!] ko.
